UK ticket-holder comes forward to claim £148m prize
The UK ticket-holder who scooped a massive £148.6 million on the EuroMillions draw has come forward. It's not known yet if they want to keep their identity a secret.
The prize won last night is the second-largest jackpot yet in the UK.
It is the largest pot since Colin and Chris Weir, from Largs in North Ayrshire, won £161 million last July, with the difference in the exchange rate meaning this week's jackpot is slightly less.
The winning main EuroMillions numbers were 50, 21, 17, 48 and 11, and the Lucky Star numbers were 09 and 10.
The winning ticket collects £148,656,000.
Here are the official top 10 biggest winners since the lottery began.
The Scottish husband and wife, from Largs in Ayrshire, said they were "tickled pink" after becoming Europe's biggest Lottery winners in July last year.

Unemployed mechanic Les Scadding, 58, and his wife Samantha Peachey-Scadding, 38, from Caerleon, South Wales, bought one of two winning tickets which shared a £90 million jackpot in November 2009.
